25 Weeks

How far along? 

25 weeks. I am looking awfully tired in this photo.

How big is baby? 

One source says rutabaga - what the heck is that anyway? My other source says cauliflower, and since I happen to both love cauliflower and know what it looks like, that's the produce I'm going with this week.

Total weight gain?

Up 13 1/2 pounds total

Maternity clothes?

 It's a given at this point. I'm currently enjoying the pair of black Gap maternity dress pants I found on consignment for a steal.

Sleep?

Not too bad this week, I have to say

Best moment of the week?

We had an awesome weekend complete with a great time with friends on Saturday and Sweets' first movie theater experience on Sunday :)

Food cravings?

 Nothing in particular this week

Food aversions?

 None

Symptoms?

 At the end of the day, I'm starting to feel very tired, physically. My back is achy, my feet hurt and I'm prone to those irritating heart palpitations in the evening.

Movement?

 Wowza, yes. This little one has been very active lately. Whatcha doin' in there?

Gender?

 Unknown of course. The consensus at work is overwhelmingly boy from both students and staff alike.

What I’m looking forward to?

 My bestie's bridal shower out of town this weekend - a road trip with my mom, time with dear friends, and a long overdue visit with a beautiful bride-to-be!

What I miss?

I am missing wine right about now...with the return of the chilly fall weather, a glass of red sounds amazing

Weekly Wisdom?

Stress at work = contractions

Contractions = bad

ERGO  Stress at work = bad

Milestones?

This isn't necessarily specific to this week, but my hyperthyroidism is again in remission during pregnancy. Go me ;)
